Hi Young, Greg,
I have the following comments:
1. Specify that the Optical Node Property TLV cardinality and order rules per LSA.
For example (from RFC 3630):
"The Link TLV describes a single link. It is constructed of a set of
sub-TLVs. There are no ordering requirements for the sub-TLVs.
Only one Link TLV shall be carried in each LSA, allowing for fine
granularity changes in topology."
However, use the term "advertised" rather than "carried". After all, these are
Link State Advertisements.
2. The same comment for all the Sub-TLVs. Here is another example from
RFC 3630:
"The Link Type and Link ID sub-TLVs are mandatory, i.e., must appear
exactly once. All other sub-TLVs defined here may occur at most
once. These restrictions need not apply to future sub-TLVs.
Unrecognized sub-TLVs are ignored."
The new Sub-TLVs you are defining need this level of specification.
3. I know I told you not to use the term "multi-instance LSA". I still don't like
the usage of "LSA instance" in the draft. In the base OSPF specification, RFC 2328,
the term LSA instance is used to denote a particular version of the same LSA - NOT
an opaque identifier for multiple LSAs of the same type. Refer to section 12.1 in
RFC 2328.
The OSPF Opaque LSA RFC (RFC 2370 and its successor RFC 5250) correctly
identify the last 24 bits of the LSA ID as the Opaque ID. While RFC 3630 refers
to this field as the "Instance", I believe this term should be avoided given the
semantics in the OSPF base specification. Hence, I'd suggest the
following changes:
225,226c225,226
< the rest and make use of multiple TE LSA instances per source, per
< [RFC3630] multiple instance capability.

Additionally, I'd add RFC 5250 as at least a informative reference.
4. Finally, I'd suggest changing the title from "OSPF Enhancement..." to
"GMPLS OSPF Enhancement..." since you are not really enhancing base
OSPF itself. Of course, there are other CCAMP RFCs that do not make
this distinction.
Thanks,
Acee

discusses how to split the Sub-TLVs' defined under the Optical Node Property TLV under the MTU limit to
avoid fragmentation.
